Our story
The kind of cafe a neighbourhood needs
Canons Cafe sits in the little parade of shops facing Canons Park station. It is the sort of place where the builders arriving at six get the same welcome as the mums with pushchairs at ten and the office lot grabbing lunch at one.
Everything is cooked to order in our own kitchen. The bacon is proper back bacon, the eggs are free-range, the avocados are ripe on the day, and the pancakes go straight from the griddle to your table. Nothing is reheated and nothing is complicated — it is simply good food, made well, priced fairly.
We look after vegetarians and vegans as carefully as we look after the full-English crowd, halal options are there for the asking, oat and soya milk sit behind the machine, and there is always a bowl of water outside for the dogs.

Why people call us the best cafe in Edgware
Ask around Canons Park and the same few things come up. The breakfast is generous and it never stops. The coffee is made by hand, not by a button. And nobody rushes you out of your seat.
We are a genuinely independent cafe in Edgware — no chain, no franchise, no central kitchen. That means the chef can cook your eggs the way you actually want them, the specials change when something good comes in, and if you are a regular we will very likely start your order before you have taken your coat off.
Being right by the station makes us an easy meeting point for the whole of north-west London. We regularly welcome people from Edgware, Stanmore, Queensbury, Burnt Oak, Kingsbury, Belmont and the surrounding HA postcodes — a short hop on the Jubilee line, or ten minutes in the car.
